Honestly it was well kept up for a old motel. Great for someone needing a place for a few nights with the basics of sleeping. I paid more for less and probably will stay here again.

Nice and clean. Neighborhood outside is problematic, but parking is behind a gate so I'd say it is safe.

Overall a great option if you are looking for anything that's budget friendly and close to Seattle DT. I was worried that I wasn't able to check in late since I thought their check in time is until midnight, but then I called to confirm that they do have late check-ins till 2 am which is convenient. The front desk lady was very generous and friendly, and gave out clear instructions for the room policy and how to access the gate. The room was overall very clean and tidy, I would suggest adding a hair dryer if there's an option but they do provide the essentials such as face/body soap, shampoo and toothbrush + tooth paste. On the con side, there are mostly fast food restaurants around the area, not much dining options if you are looking for different food options.

Gated parking was great. Slept well - nice bed. Shower was hot and good water pressure. Could use some hooks or something to hang things on. Luggage rack to leave your suitcase on would be helpful. Had a nice little table and chairs in a "kitchen" area. Overall great stay - especially for the price. Would recommend for anyone on a budget.
